Alex Len, 19.8 MPG

Len should leave this group very soon. He’s grown tremendously over his three seasons in Phoenix and is no longer the raw project he started out as. The former fifth overall pick has made significant strides, other than Devin Booker he’s the most exciting prospect on the roster.

The Suns are abysmal, they have been utterly horrid in the new year especially, but Suns’ fans can take solace in the rising of Len. Len is a true center, a big frame with long arms who can alter shots and bang down low. He’s a below average offensive player, he has limited range and doesn’t finish particularly well but he’s young and can convert at the free throw line.

While Len has struggled offensively the Suns lost Eric Bledsoe early, Brandon Knight has been out for awhile, and the team as a whole ranks 27th in ORTG. Don’t worry too much about the numbers at this moment.

Len will have one more year on his rookie deal before the Suns have to start sorting out his long-term future.
